Liverpoolvs.Bournemouth

The Reds finally welcomed Federico Chiesa into the fold properly in midweek, as the summer signing from Juventus came on in the dying embers of their 3-1 Champions League win over AC Milan.

With Chiesa fit enough to take part in competitive matches, the hosts' sole absentee is Harvey Elliott, who will still need a few more weeks to recover from a foot fracture sustained on international duty.

Slot should not shy away from making a couple of attacking changes for the weekend's game, although it should not involve Chiesa; instead, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz could enter the fray.

The latter would likely have taken the place of Cody Gakpo either way, but Nunez is banging on the door for a start up front and has every chance of taking Diogo Jota's place for the visit of Bournemouth.

Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai should be in no danger of losing their places in the final third, while the midfield pairing of Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch should also remain untouched.

Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are all shoo-ins at the back, and after being dropped for Kostas Tsimikas in the week, Andrew Robertson should regain his rightful place at left-back.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Nunez
